Apple Puff-Up Pancake (Dutch Baby) ....and a new gadget

My name is Debby, and I am a kitchen gadget-holic. I am now the proud new owner of my newest kitchen gadget:

I found this apple peeler, corer slicer at Bed Bath & Beyond. After a coupon, I paid less than $15.00 for it. I love it! I've been busily making apple crisps, sauteed apples over ice cream and I have to say that this gadget is going to be used a lot! This morning, I saw this recipe posted on Relish Magazine's Facebook Fan Page and I jumped out of my chair and into the kitchen-- excited to make use of my newest toy kitchen tool. This dish took, literally, 15 minutes to prepare. I preheated the oven to 450F and then grabbed one Granny Smith Apple...

Faster than you can "apple pie", I had perfectly sliced apples. Nice!

In a 10" cast-iron skillet (one of my favorite kitchen tools), I added 2 Tablespoons of buttah on medium heat. the apples are cooked on each side for 3-4 minutes each. Next, I add 1/4 cup brown sugar and some cinnamon and then I added another "secret ingredient" of my own.

Boiled Cider... purchased online from my future dream employer... King Arthur Flour. This is liquid gold, and I am going to buy more. This product should be a staple for anyone who loves apples. I am not being paid to praise this product. It simply deserves praise. (So do I, come to think of it!)

While the apples were cooking, I mixed flour, milk (2%), three room temperature eggs and vanilla. I whisked it, until smooth and set it aside. The apples are ready...

Yum! Remove the apples from the heat....

Pour the batter over the apple mixture. (At this point, I realized I forgot to add the cinnamon. On a whim, I sprinkled the cinnamon over the batter and crossed my fingers.) Bake at 450F for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Nice and puffy (the cinnamon looks like freckles, but at least it's there).

Breakfast is ready in less than 30 minutes! The pancake will begin to shrink, by the way. Serve nice and hot!

TASTING NOTES: The apples are not too sweet and the boiled cider really makes the flavor buds pop. The pancake has a custard-like texture and the lemon juice gives a perfect brightness to this dish. Next time, I'll remember to add the cinnamon into the apple mixture. I might double the apples, too. This is a hit and I intend to make this more often. You could definitely have some fun by adding raisins, in desired (and we love them) and even a scoop of vanilla to serve this as a dessert.

The printable recipe for this dish is at the very bottom of this post.

Craig and I are off to Palm Springs, and I have scheduled this recipe to post as we are headed 8 hours south of our home. For those of you who are experiencing chilly Fall temps, I might want to join you. According to the internet, we have 90 degree temps in store for us. I've packed sunblock, bathing suits, a few favorite kitchen tools (gotta have 'em) to use in our condo. I'll post pictures of us grilling and sipping cocktails. There will not, however, be photos of me in a bikini. Not gonna happen... just use your imagination. Then again...maybe not!

I have been wanting one of these for the longest time but keep telling myself I can do without. (we buy bushels of apples in the fall and I make a lot of sauce and pie filling)Well...After reading your post I remembered I had a coupon for BBB..any guesses as to what I went and bought today? ;) OMGosh, why did I wait so long! This is the slickest gadget ever! I'm going to make your Apple Puff Pancake tonight for dessert. Thanks for the great recipe and for inspiration to finally buy a new gadget! :)

Debby, I have been pining for an apple peeler gadget for a few summers now, never knowing whether or not they work or are worth it. You've got me convinced now. Plus, I've never heard of Relish and so will have to check it out. I'm a super big fan of King Arthur too!

For the past two months I've been making dutch babies every Saturday for my guys. I've served it with sauted apples but never baked it with apples. Very interesting....I'll have to try that tomorrow.~ingrid

Welcome!

Welcome to my internet kitchen. Please, sit back and relax, and watch me make delicious food and bakery recipes. Most of my recipes are simple, flavorful meals-- and a few baked treats. I focus on using fresh, seasonal ingredients and I try to avoid using boxed mixes and processed foods. I'm having fun learning how to cook like my grandmother once did-- from scratch! I hope that my step-by-step photos will inspire a timid cook to try them. Even if you're a seasoned cook, hopefully you'll learn a new tip or two.

If you have any questions,or just want to say "hello", please feel free to email me: foodiewife@gmail.com
